[R-pkg-devel] How to request for an Non Maintainer update - NMU

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Non-Maintainer Update (NMU) is a well-defined term in the Debian Developer's
Reference and packaging practice (see [1]) but not something that exists in
the CRAN Repository Policy [2] so "requesting" a NMU is a tricky.  As Duncan
kindly explained there are some words in [2] about transfering / taking over
but the "one-off nature" of the NMU is not something we have here at CRAN.

Best,  Dirk
